my 96 explorer will crank when i turn the key but will not start.
about a week ago i started it and then it died as i was backing out of a parking space, it then started again but sounded bad and then while driving it died again about two minutes later while driving through a parking lot. after i drove home the explorer was fine for about aweek but now will not start at all.
i checked all the fuses and the fuel pump shutoff button. I think maybe its the actual fuel pump, eec, or iac
any suggestions before i take it to the shop?

sounds like the fuel pump is probably the problem

I agree it may be the fuel pump. I was recently having this same problem and it was the fuel pump. The only problem is the mechanic had problems with getting the correct part and installing it. It still seem to have the same problem. I wondered if it was a recall issue.

may also be a crank shaft position sensor.

does the 96 have the fuel shutoff safety switch? happend on my van i used to have, and it was a light smack to the fender.(didnt leave a dent) all i had to do was push the reset. that was after getting towed and replacing the fuel filter.....
